Dead Levelers Continued

[fwernlein]

In my limited experience based on my '85, 1: there are two
solonoids located near the pump. One is dedicated for the HWH pump,
the other is dedicated for the Gen set battery. This gen set one is
not directly used to power the leveler pump, the main cables may be
tied together for a common supply, but they do not work "together"
for the leveler system. 2: Still sounds like a bad ground, your
symptoms are exactly like i had...of course, there may be other
causes...cleaning the lever switches is a excellent step also. 3:
Your motor may also just be shot. Here is the real test...may i
suggest you use jumper cables to bypass everything and just try to
power the motor from the solonoid stud, jumping from say the gen
battery as a 12vt source; use a second cable to ensure a good motor
mount to ground connection...if when direct connected for a second,
it runs, then you have a connection/switch problem somewhere.

Good luck...
